Charging the Battery

Charging the Main Battery and Memory Backup Battery

Before using the EDA for the first time, charge the main battery until the amber Charge Status LED remains lit

(see Table 1-2 on page 1-7 for charge status indications). To charge the EDA, use a cable or a cradle with the

appropriate power supply. For information about the accessories available for the EDA, see Chapter 4,

Accessories.

The EDA is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the fully-charged main

battery. When using the EDA for the first time, the backup battery requires approximately 24 hours to fully

charge. This is also true any time the backup battery is discharged, which occurs when the main battery is

removed for several hours. The backup battery retains RAM data in memory for at least 30 minutes (at room

temperature) when the EDA's main battery is removed. When the EDA reaches a very low battery state, the

combination of main battery and backup battery retains data in memory for at least 40 hours.

To charge batteries, use either a cable or one of the following cradles. For cradle setup and charging

procedures refer to the MC7090CN Integrator Guide.

•

Single Slot USB/Serial Cradle

•

Four Slot Ethernet Cradle

•

Vehicle Cradle.

Snap-on accessories such as the Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) and the Trigger Handle provide a

pass-through port for charging.

To charge the main battery:

1. Connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source.

2. Insert the EDA into a cradle or attach the cable. The EDA begins charging. The Charge LED blinks amber

while charging, then turns solid amber when fully charged. See Table 1-2 for charging indications.

Getting Started 1 - 7

The standard capacity battery (1900 mAh) fully charges in less than four hours. The extended capacity battery

(3800 mAh) fully charges in less than eight hours.

Charging Spare Batteries

Use one of the following accessories to charge a 1900 mAh or 3800 mAh spare battery:

•

Single Slot USB/Serial Cradle

•

Four Slot Battery Charger

•

VCD7000 Vehicle Cradle.

To charge a spare battery:

1. Connect the spare battery charging accessory to the appropriate power source.

2. Insert the spare battery into the accessory’s spare battery charging slot with the charging contacts facing

down (over the charging pins) and gently press down on the battery to ensure proper contact.

The battery begins charging. The amber charge LED on the accessory lights to show the charge status.

The standard spare battery fully charges in less than four hours, and the extended spare battery fully charges

in less than eight hours.

Table 1-2

LED Charge Indicators

Charge Status LED Indication

Off EDA is not charging; EDA is not inserted correctly in the cradle or connected to

a power source; charger is not powered.

Slow Blinking Amber

(1 blink every 2 seconds)

EDA is charging.

Solid Amber Charging complete.

Note: When the battery is initially inserted in the EDA, the amber LED flashes

once if the battery power is low or the battery is not fully inserted.

Fast Blinking Amber

(2 blinks/second)

Charging error, e.g.:

•

Temperature is too low or too high.

•

Charging has gone on too long without completing (typically eight hours).

1 - 8 MC7090CN User Guide

Charging Temperature

Charge batteries in temperatures from 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F). Note that at temperatures above 35

o

C,

charging is intelligently controlled by the EDA and the charging accessory in order to ensure safe operation

and optimize long-term battery life.

To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the EDA or accessory alternately enables and disables battery

charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The EDA or accessory indicates when charging is

disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED. See Table 1-2.

Powering On the EDA

Press the Power button to turn on the EDA. If the EDA does not power on, reset it. See Resetting the EDA on

page 2-20.

When turning the EDA on for the first time, the Zebra splash screen displays for about a minute as the EDA

initializes its flash file system, then the calibration window appears. Note that these windows also appear upon

cold boot.

Calibrating the Screen

To calibrate the screen so the cursor on the touch screen aligns with the tip of the stylus:

1. Remove the stylus from its holder on the back of the EDA.

2. Carefully press and briefly hold the tip of stylus on the center of each target that appears on the screen.

3. Repeat as the target moves around the screen, then tap the screen to continue.

Checking Battery Status

To check the charge status of the main battery or backup battery in the EDA, tap Start - Settings - System -

Power icon to display the Power window.

To save battery power, tap the Advanced tab and set the EDA to turn off after a specified number of minutes.

Adjusting the Handstrap

The EDA handstrap is attached to the bottom of the battery cover. Adjust the handstrap to increase comfort

when holding the EDA for extended periods of time. To adjust the handstrap:

1. Feed the handstrap through the handstrap slot in either direction, to tighten or loosen.

NOTE When the EDA powers up after inserting a battery for the first time, the device boots and

powers on automatically.
